-
Railroad Accidents: We are the leading law firm in the nation in handling cases of railroad crossing death and serious injuries involving train crossing accidents and the only law firm in the nation that commits over 90% of its caseload to railroad related accidents. Like most law firms, the majority of our cases settle before trial, but when we have gone to court, we have been extremely successful. Our attorneys have won a $30 million verdict on behalf of a man seriously injured in a railroad crossing accident, and they have won many others, including $10 million for a person involved in a serious train collision.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Railroad accidents are almost always catastrophic. Many are deadly, and some result in debilitating, life changing injuries such as spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries typically cause disabilities that last a lifetime. People who have suffered paralysis because of negligent railroad companies need compensation for the medical bills, lost wages, etc. that they will experience for the rest of their lives.
- Brain Injuries: As with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries cause lifelong disabilities, and sufferers need lifelong compensation. But the consequences of brain injuries can be anything from physical disabilities to cognitive or emotional problems. A skilled lawyer is needed to convince a court of the connection between diverse problems and a brain injury.
-
Car Accidents: With regard to car accidents, our attorneys work solely with car vs. train collisions. The railroad industry is responsible for maintaining safe crossings, but when the railroad fails to clear the crossing of vegetation or other sight obstructions or fails to blow the train's whistle, crossing the railroad tracks can be a dangerous and life threatening experience.
-
Trucking Accidents: Trucking is a dangerous job. Truck drivers spend long hours on the road facing sleep deprivation and a number of other health issues. They should not have to worry about being hit by a train at an unsafe crossing. Our lawyers know how to get results for truckers who have been injured by trains.
-
Litigation and Appeals: Our lawyers have had tremendous successes in court, and have a proven record of skill in appeals dealing with train crossing accidents and other personal injury matters. Even when a case can be resolved out of court, our reputation for trial work can bring our clients a better settlement.
